2015 Map of Clare

About this map

Clare and Barnum anchor this rural landscape in Webster County, where the topography is defined by the winding course of Lizard Creek and its South Branch. The area is notably dense with small family and religious burial sites, providing a significant record for local genealogists. Features such as the Old Lizzard Cem, Saint James Cem, and the specialized Burns Family Plot are scattered across the townships, often positioned near waterways like Deer Cr or drainage infrastructure such as Drainage Ditch Number 219. The map details a strictly organized section-line road network, including thoroughfares like Co Hwy P29 and Co Hwy C66, which connect these small settlements. Further south, the junction at Tara illustrates the quiet transition between these agrarian communities and the surrounding prairie land.
